202382 2003-12-23 01:32:00 I have a couple of movies on my computer that i would like to capture a still picture of a certain scene as it would make a great Desktop image. Can some one tell me how to caputer the picture when I pause the movie at the right spot? Print Screen doesn't work all I get is a blank picture.

Any help would be appreciated.

202385 2003-12-23 04:28:00 Virtual Dub is an excellent utility to capture still shots from movies. It gives frame by frame control to select the exact frame that you wish to capture then allows you to copy that frame to the clipboard. You can then use MSPaint or an imaging program, eg Irfanview, Paintshop Pro, etc to save the image as desired. tommy (2826)
